Coordinate Plane

Front

What is the coordinate plane?

Back

A two-dimensional surface formed by the intersection of a horizontal line (x-axis) and a vertical line (y-axis).

Front

What are the x-axis and y-axis?

Back

The x-axis is the horizontal line on the coordinate plane, while the y-axis is the vertical line.

Front

What is an ordered pair?

Back

A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a point on the coordinate plane, where x is the x-coordinate and y is the y-coordinate.

Front

What does the first number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The first number represents the x-coordinate, indicating the horizontal position on the coordinate plane.

Front

What does the second number in an ordered pair represent?

Back

The second number represents the y-coordinate, indicating the vertical position on the coordinate plane.

Front

How do you identify the location of a point on the coordinate plane?

Back

By using its ordered pair (x, y), where x indicates the position along the x-axis and y indicates the position along the y-axis.

Front

What is the origin in the coordinate plane?

Back

The point (0, 0) where the x-axis and y-axis intersect.

Front

What is the significance of the quadrants in the coordinate plane?

Back

The coordinate plane is divided into four quadrants, each representing different signs of x and y coordinates.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant I, where both x and y are positive.

Front

In which quadrant is the point (-3, 4) located?

Back

Quadrant II, where x is negative and y is positive.
